Chase - Get It On (Live February 28, 1974)

Rare footage of Bill Chase and his band performing live at the Faces club in Chicago on February 28, 1974. This video was shot during the album release party for the Pure Music album. This is the only known concert footage of the band. This clip is the encore with solos by the whole trumpet section.

Sadly, just six months later, Bill and three members of his band were killed in a plane crash.

This is great, Chase was one or at lest one of the greatest trumpet players of all time. Thanks Paul for this post.

Chase had the most amazing Trumpet section in all of Jazz Rock. Nobody did it better.

Didn't care for the "updated" arrangement."Get it on" was a hit.....and that wasn't it.The horns sounded good,but didn't like the vocal.If something "works",I think it should be left alone.Ted

Videos like this only remind us just how different music, and today's lifestyle has changed so very much. As that line floating around the web goes, "I may be old, but at least I got to see all the cool bands".... so true.

Dude! They and Chicago performed at Western!?!? I'm going there now and I'm a huge Chicago fan! Damn, today's music sucks.

On this day in 1971 {May 22nd} "Get It On" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #24 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100...

Sadly, leader Bill Chase died in a plane crash on August 9th, 1974, he was only 39 years old...

May he R.I.P.
